Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Cons:
Not for moderate Acne
This is by far the best cleanser I have ever used (Orange Essence Facial Wash) I love that I apply it dry beacuse it has oils in it, and it works wonders for my oily skin because since oils dissolve oils, it leaves my skin perfectly balanced, and even without a moisturizer, never oil throughout the day. The only times I've noticd my face got oily was if I used too much or left it on too long. But it hasn't ever clogged my pores, the smell is amazing and you can't beat it being all natural! I think this product is perfect for people with no acne because its mainly a daily cleanser, and not a fighter of moderate acne. The ingredients are too mild. But until I find another product that fights acne and doesn't dry my face, this is my main product.
WILL DEFINITELY BE BUYING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!!!
ps. its hard to find in places like wal mart and cvs, at least where I live, I found it in walgreens.

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
made face less red.
Cons:
I used this product for about 10 days and it caused me to breakout with cystic acne all along my jawline. I ended up having to go to a dermatologist and now i'm using retin-a, duac, and solodyn which seems to be working.
Nothing against Burts Bees, i love their chapstick and handsalve. I think i must have been allergic to something in their formula b/c of the way my skin reacted to it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
it reduced pimples within ten minutes...sort of.
Cons:
it made my face burn and itch. and left a sort of burn mark on my face for a minute because of this burning.
it's an alright product if you have a few sort of noticeable/annoying pimples to get rid of. it works to the extent that if you want the pimples to come to a white head so you can pop them and still have to suffer through the red part. so unless you have some concealer or foundation and this stuff on handy, then you're gonna be lacking in the whole covering up the zit problem

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser)
Pros:
It cleans off all the oil so your skin feels fresh & clean
Cons:
I think it's made me break out with cystic acne.. suddenly I started breaking out on my cheeks which has never happened to me before and never this severely. I used to only get a couple of minor white heads, but now I have a rash of acne!!!
It doesn't work for me. I'm not so sure why this product has such high ratings! Its causing me to break out even worse than ever before! I was just looking for a cleanser that would help me get rid of the smaller random little white heads on my T zone and chin area, and instead I'm breaking out all over my cheeks with these MASSIVE cystic acne bumps!!! I've never ever in my life had this before! I'm going to be scarred on my cheeks now and its basically this product's fault.
